Now the Republican party is now the party of "conservatism" <br /><br />Needless to say, considering the condition of this state, the Mississippi GOP has had a long time running this team and they did a worse job than Buck Showalter did with the Baltimore Orioles. They do not deserve another 4 years to do more damage. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-33357238259391967732018-10-16T13:29:22.398-05:002018-10-16T13:29:22.398-05:00@1:56, during what 100 year period did democrats d...@1:56, during what 100 year period did democrats dominate government and which problems did they cause?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-35604328359363506782018-10-16T05:20:55.446-05:002018-10-16T05:20:55.446-05:00"The Republicans are the Democrats.

Only 30% graduated from high school. 31% have less than a high school education. This is not improvement.<br /><br />Nor should we take comfort in cost of living if it does not track with wages. It's also important to see where the cost of living changes occur.<br /><br />My current concern is that the boom/bust nature of the market is that booms benefit the 1% who are the ones who can take advantage of booms and busts. And, that the earnings increases in the low to upper middle class are not tracking at all with the earnings increases in the upper classes.<br /><br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-22620842449515181082018-10-14T08:48:12.771-05:002018-10-14T08:48:12.771-05:00I understand your point, but a year to year compar...I understand your point, but a year to year comparison does reflect trends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-77519967230371398382018-10-14T08:13:23.996-05:002018-10-14T08:13:23.996-05:00WHy is it so hard for people like Bill to understa...WHy is it so hard for people like Bill to understand that a comparison of average wages means absolutely NOTHING without a side-by-side comparison of the cost of living???
